MAGA is angry as 'Love Is Blind' women dump conservative men

The latest season of Love Is Blind has kickstarted a conservative meltdown after two different contestants rejected their matches based on divisive political (and human) issues.

The popular Netflix reality show gives singles the opportunity to speak without seeing one another, eventually getting to the point of proposing marriage. Things escalate from there, as they spend time with each other face-to-face, meet each other’s families, and ultimately walk down the aisle and decide if they’re really ready to say "I do."

The eighth season only saw one of five couples actually tie the knot. Of the other four engagements, two failed because the women involved realized the men they had fallen for didn’t hold the same values — and said as much on the show.

"I love you so much, but I’ve always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength," Sara Carton told Ben Mezzenga in a clip that’s gone viral following the March 9 finale. "And so, today, I can’t."

After leaving the wedding venue, Carton spoke further with her mom and sister, explaining that Mezzenga seemed uninterested in issues that were important to her.

"I remember I asked him about Black Lives Matter. And I’m no expert, but when I asked him about it, he was like, I guess I’ve never really thought too much about it," she recalled. "How did it not make you think about something?"

She also shared that he claimed he "didn’t know" what his church’s views on LGBTQ+ people were. When she watched a sermon online herself and discovered the views were "traditional," he didn’t "really have much to say about it."

"I want someone to think about that stuff," she admitted.

A second clip making the rounds on social media featured contestant Virginia Miller expressing similar concerns about the man she had left at the altar, Devin Buckley, during the reunion episode.

"Devin told me a lot about his core values — something he did not want to talk about on camera," she told hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey. "I will be really clear about mine. I 100% support the LGBTQ community. I also believe that women should have the decision to choose if they want to have an abortion or not. I also believe that different religions should be valued."

Wanting a partner who shares your values is a pretty basic tenet of relationships. One would think that’s something all people would understand and agree with, regardless of what those values are. After all, some religions even expressly command followers to marry someone who shares their beliefs.

But the realization that holding regressive views comes with consequences in the world of dating often seems to send conservatives spiraling.

"My jaw was on the fucking floor reading these thread responses."

"Love is Blind Sara Carton making a political statement instead of trying to find her person. This guy missed a bullet with her."

"Imagine ruining your own wedding because of identity politics"

"'I’ve always wanted a partner to be a liberal and you’re not so I can’t'"

"Sara from Love is Blind S8 is infected with the woke mind virus, destined to be a childless cat lady. Her fake empathy and controlling attitude is repellent to good men. Ben dodged a bullet."

But to many people, seeing things play out the way they did was refreshing — and watching the online temper tantrums about it was hilarious.

"lmao conservatives getting mad at love is blind because they realize they’re unfuckable and unmarriable"

"love this diva. like beyond her views, I honestly view it as a red flag when a man doesn’t think outside himself nor cares to question the political climate"

"Me ugly crying because I thought my girl was gonna say yes to a dusty Trumper that had her pay for every single meal the entire time."

"WORDS ‼️ here’s the thing: neutrality is a privilege. And in 2025, if you’re more uncomfortable with taking a stand than with injustice itself, you’ve already chosen a side. If your beliefs are shaky when challenged, they were never beliefs, they were just convenience. And these women saw through it in real time. No more emotional labor. No more ‘I don’t think about politics.’ No more pretending neutrality is harmless."
